Catholic Medical Center Chooses IBM DB2 9 With pureXML Over Legacy DBMS to Support Its Integrated Healthcare Platform

Overview Catholic Medical Center is an association of eight large hospitals and 23 other Catholic medical facilities across the Republic of Korea. To improve the quality and timeliness of patient care, managers at Catholic Medical Center decided to integrate the organization's healthcare platforms onto a unified health information system. Looking for an offering that would be cheaper, more flexible and more reliable than their existing DataBase Management System (DBMS), which comprised Oracle and Sybase systems, staff at the association migrated patient files to an IBM DB2 9 data server. With the IBM software's ability to support pureXML data, the client was able to easily integrate its operations and create the neuro-Ubiquitous program.
